"That much nuclear material" as in "enough to visit nearby star systems". Perhaps you've underestimated the literally astronomical distances involved, and how much power is required to get there in anything close to

Safely getting that much nuclear material into orbit is tricky. What if the launch rocket fails and explodes in the atmosphere?

It sounds like there's a real market for a simple 2FA system for approving large/urgent transactions like this. Something like Google Auth, but with a 30 minute window as opposed to seconds, to keep email viable. Alternatively, th

As with most other aspects of this scam, your suggestion would require a certain lack of critical thinking on the accountant's part: how would the sender know that IT had flagged their email as external before the email was sent and fl

Is it better to have the atrocities committed upon a person by a stranger, or by their government, which is charged to protect them? Getting arrested, tried, and imprisoned can be a brutal process all on its own. Losing years or even the en

It would be nice to live in a society when the certainty of someone having committed a crime directly relates to the justice system's proclamation of guilt. Instead, for most Americans, for whom a competent lawyer is outside of the ran

It seems to be working in Texas. Dallas is such a technological hub now that Texas might actually become a blue state before long! It gives me hope for my area, at least.

The building is aging, that's partly why they're relocating the market, which will continue to operate. The article makes several colorful comments about the state of literal decay it's in: > Tsukiji is creaking at the sea

I know exactly what you mean, there's a really strong anti-intellectualism that blankets this region. It's mostly in rural areas, but that accounts for probably 95% of the state's geography so they get to call all the shots u

From an outsider's perspective, Japan seems to have a very strong grip on their cultural history. I can understand why they have resisted relocating the market, and why they will mourn its destruction. On the other hand, they seem to b

I live in Arkansas and I am only slightly surprised at the state's position. I did expect we'd beat out Louisiana, at least.

Copyright says you get to define that however you like. It's why we have so many options for code licensing. The problem here is that companies would much rather have the "we can do whatever we want with your content" option

Links, videos, and potentially interesting discussions that may result. The last point also touches on an issue I have with the Twitter Android client: there's no way to refresh a tweet to see new replies. Even if I go back to my timel

This entire article is ~954 characters, less than 1/10th of the proposed 10,000 maximum.

Whatever the underlying algorithm, the fact that it will continue to show you the same things when new content is available is by far the biggest failing. Surely they should prioritize fresh/unseen posts above all.

I think it was fairly obvious from the start that it wasn't going to be a lasting trend. The games were obviously either uninspired clones or promising the impossible, and as soon as consumers caught on then the trend would die off. A

I think the issue might be that you replied to the wrong comment, so it didn't quite make sense in context.

If we're going to accept that stereoscopy makes an objectively positive difference over a "flat 3D" presentation, does it not follow that the threshold for success in this case potentially fell within that difference?

I understand that it would be backwards-incompatible, however it would be nice to make it official, considering it's been proven useful. It wouldn't break existing Powerline fonts, however, because those private-use codepoints wou

The only way to answer this question properly is to wait and see. No reasonable comparisons can be made until the final hardware and their respective prices are available and have been reviewed thoroughly. For now all we can do is speculate

Even lower-powered VR can have a lot of utility. I've heard folks use the Samsung Gear VR for movie watching, where it uses an application to make it seem like you're in a room with a 100+ inch television, and apparently the sense
